Are shock and hypotension the same thing? Why or Why not?
![Page 4: Neonatal Hypotension & Shock Lange’s 5 th Edition Neonatology: Management, Procedures, On-Call Problems, Diseases, and Drugs 2004](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c755503460f949286bc/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Shock is decreased end organ perfusion
Shock presents before hypotension
Hypotension represents uncompensated shock
Hypotension is >2SD below normal for age
1000-1250g SBP49-61
1251-1500g SBP 46-61
1501-1750 SBP 46-58
1751-2000 SBP-48-61
For infants <30 weeks gestation mean BP should be at least the gestational age
i.e. 29 week GA=MAP 29
Make sure cuff size correct (2/3 of upper arm)
Cuff too small=BP
Cuff too large=BP
Blood Pressure
*But……. Do you have a BP cuff?

Endocrine Disorders
• Complete 21-hydroxylase deficiency
• Adrenal hemorrhage• (What electrolyte abnormalities do
you expect in adrenogenital syndrome??– A. Low sodium, high potassium– B. Hi sodium, high potassium– C. Low sodium, low potassium
![Page 23: Neonatal Hypotension & Shock Lange’s 5 th Edition Neonatology: Management, Procedures, On-Call Problems, Diseases, and Drugs 2004](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c755503460f949286bc/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• 27 week infant noted to have a mean arterial blood pressure of 24 on the new automatic BP machine
• Type of shock• Work-up• Treatment
![Page 24: Neonatal Hypotension & Shock Lange’s 5 th Edition Neonatology: Management, Procedures, On-Call Problems, Diseases, and Drugs 2004](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c755503460f949286bc/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Extreme Prematurity
• Hypotension is very common– 40% in 27-29 weeks– 60-100% in 24-26 weeks– Most likely due to adrenocortical
insufficiency, poor vascular tone, immature catecholamine responses
– Hypotension in ELBW infants is associated w/IVH and needs to be corrected
![Page 25: Neonatal Hypotension & Shock Lange’s 5 th Edition Neonatology: Management, Procedures, On-Call Problems, Diseases, and Drugs 2004](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c755503460f949286bc/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Work UP
• Look for signs of blood loss, sepsis and clinical signs of shock
• Complete Blood Count– Decreased hematocrit can occur with
bleeding however remember in acute blood loss maybe normal
– Increased or decreased WBC or increase in immature cells may point to sepsis
![Page 26: Neonatal Hypotension & Shock Lange’s 5 th Edition Neonatology: Management, Procedures, On-Call Problems, Diseases, and Drugs 2004](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c755503460f949286bc/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Work-up continued
• Coagulation studies (if disseminated intravascular coagulation suspected)
• Serum glucose, electrolytes, and calcium levels
• Cultures, CRP• Kleihauer-Betke to rule out fetomaternal
transfusion is suspected• Arterial blood gases to look for hypoxia
and acidosis
![Page 27: Neonatal Hypotension & Shock Lange’s 5 th Edition Neonatology: Management, Procedures, On-Call Problems, Diseases, and Drugs 2004](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c755503460f949286bc/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Other studies
• CXR • Ultra-sound head• ECG/EKG
